Disco never left, it went underground for a few years and re-emerged without
the stigma of the word disco attached to it (a stigma which came about
because of closed minded people like you). Today disco is again very
popular, try going to a club, listen - the music has changed, but it's still
a progenitor of disco.

Tool Mainstream? Nah I can't see it even in places like Toronto, San Fran,
or Frankfurt. But I would take listening to Tool anyday over all that
Euro-Techno-Pop-Sissy-Nights at the Roxbury-Haddaway Fodder that permeates
the airways and this list at times you know the kind of fodder that
stimulates the vomitting reflex. Some may see it as far fetched but I feel
the Funk sometimes when I hear Tool or Perfect Circle. If MTV is a vision
of what is considered Mainstream hten I think its time to talk to Coach
Madden about punting the ball and getting out of the game until another wave
comes around. It does appear that things go in circles and God Forbid then
that means Disco will come back around, I try to be positive but once again
it is difficult to find anything remotely redeaming about that genre or that
time period. I know someone out there in the vast Sonic Wastelands is going
to tell me that Acid Jazz and everything else revolves around Disco but they
would have a difficult time convincing me of that.
For me its time to think of a 60 minute version of Fenomenon's "Out of
Control" from Disc 1 of Hedkandi's Winter Chill 3, Now That is More Like
It!!!
